Cannabis Creative Group was born right as Massachusetts legalized recreational cannabis back in 2017. Co-founder, Josefine Nowitz, came to our CEO, Seth Worby, with an opportunity in the market: cannabis. Our team saw a need arise as newly minted cannabis businesses scrambled to find the right partner to create and market their brands to an audience that, at the time, was wary at best.
Having already taken on a few clients in the medical cannabis space, our team naturally leaned in when the opportunity arose to grow with this segment.
Blazing the Trail for Cannabis
The new legalization in Massachusetts created a gap that we were uniquely positioned to fill. We had the network connections, marketing expertise, appreciation for cannabis, and business savvy to understand the needs of new cannabis businesses.
Moreover, as a relationship-first agency, we could take the time to deeply understand our clients. With this approach, we created, Cannabis Creative Group.
Since then, Cannabis Creative has taken the approach of listening before all else. Our cannabis marketing agency thrives because our clients feel that we are a partner to them in their success. We give each brand a dedicated success team made up of account managers, strategists, designers, copywriters, and more.
With this approach, we’ve been recognized in the industry as a leading branding and marketing agency – and we have no plans of stopping any time soon. Since 2017, we’ve won several awards for our client marketing campaigns, educational resources, and more. We’ve been named one of America’s Top Cannabis Employers and have worked with cannabis brands all around the United States, Canada, Mexico and even the UK.
What we rarely talk about, however, is how our team didn’t just appear out of thin air in 2017. In fact, we’ve been in the business of digital marketing since 2009 under our parent company, CHAMP Digital.
Who is CHAMP Digital?
CHAMP Digital – formerly Champ Internet Solutions – has been a full-service digital marketing agency for more than 15 years. Our core offerings were SEO and website design and development, two services that continue to be vital for all types of businesses.
After years of growth, we expanded into larger office spaces by the time CHAMP turned 8. With a well-rounded full suite of digital marketing services, including social media, email marketing, print and packaging design, branding, and more, we have been helping clients across a wide range of industries for a long time now.
This extensive experience in the digital marketing world not only allows us to contribute best-in-class marketing services to our cannabis and CBD clients but also gives us a wealth of knowledge to fall back on as cannabis marketing regulations evolve.
CHAMP Digital also specializes in industries that create joy and amplify social experiences, because at the heart of what we do, we enjoy crafting fun and pushing boundaries. As a result, we have considerable experience in Boating & Marine, Food & Beverage, Jewelry, and Travel & Tourism industries.
The similarities between our non-cannabis work and our work here at Cannabis Creative make us the undeniable force in the cannabis industry that we are today.
Cannabis Creative in 2025 and Beyond
In 2023, CHAMP decided to enter a new era of growth. Our parent company acquired Off Center Creative, a Chicago-based boutique agency, and expanded our executive team. Since then, we’ve upgraded our name and given our brand the modern refresh it deserved, introducing a new logo to celebrate 15 years in business.
These changes equip us with all that we need to bring some smokin’ hot new energy to our existing and future clients. One of the most exciting changes has been our increased service capabilities.
As of 2024, we began offering Photography & Videography services, SMS marketing, Native Dispensary Menus, and three packages designed specifically for cannabis brands and dispensaries: Dispensary Launch, Brand Launch and Dispensary Boost. These services were created with a startup budget in mind for new cannabis businesses. We’ve got everything you need to market and launch a dispensary or brand successfully and gain visibility online.
We also created an experiential brand in 2022, TeeHC Open, which is an annual B2B cannabis event. Together with Joint Venture & Co, we designed a non-traditional networking event for business professionals in the industry to connect. The goal was to offer an opportunity to activate your brand and build your network. From golf, games and professional development to interactive activities, this day-long event has changed the way the cannabis industry networks.
